Chapter 6

Six

" I think it's time you make good on your promises."

She dipped and swirled her hips to the sound of his deep groan.

In a single stride he pinned her flush against the wall. Nearby pictures clattered to the floor with only a small rug to break the fall.

She broke their kiss and received a deep growl and a nip to her lip. She slid her tongue along the tender flesh and watched in awe as his gaze followed her every move. Like he couldn't get enough of her. Her heart beat against her ribcage, threatening to burst with the love that filled her.

"Take me, Nathan. Not for just a night, but for now, and as long as you'll love me. I'll take it. I want you." She felt vulnerable, unsure what to do now that she'd set it all out there. So she let her body react for her.

"Baby, this isn't a one-night kinda thing." His hands parted her ass and she gasped, feeling his big cock pulse hot against her drenched pussy lips.

Warm air of his breath enveloped her a second before the softness of his tongue found her hardened nipple. Live wires shot through her body, sending warm liquid to wet her folds. She couldn't take it.

"More."

Her nipple throbbed for the same attention he lavished on the other. She reached for it, but he pushed her hand aside. "Mine." He squeezed the nipple between his thumb and finger with a delicious pinch to drive his point home and she withered in his embrace, eager for what he would do next.

Lips found her tender nipples, making her gasp and moan.

Pleading was on the menu too if he dared stop.

She could feel the sticky pre-cum from his cock smearing across her abdomen and she wanted more of it on her.

In her.

He let a nipple slip from his mouth with a juicy pop before moving to the next. It was all she could do to keep from dry humping him through her underwear.

She swallowed, panting.

"Get these things off me, now, Nathan."

"Bossy little virgin. Not yet. I am still waiting for an answer. Give me what I want."

She cried out when lips latched on a nipple and tugged before moving to the next.

Solid muscle slid between her legs, opening her up to him. A heady rush of eagerness shot through her on contact. Heat pulsated through her body. Delicious waves of desire stole her breath away, knocking her off-kilter.

"Do you want to come for me, Willa?"

"Yes, God, yes," she panted her answer, head thrashing against the wall as he stroked his cock along the seam of her clenching pussy until the fat head stroked against her swollen clit.

"Stop teasing, me." She moaned.

She dug her hands into his shoulders to pull herself closer to his warmth. Her back arched from the pure pleasure that radiated up from her core. All thoughts pushed to the back of her mind to make room for the happiness that overwhelmed her.

She couldn't deny the fire between them any longer. Didn't want to. The constant pain that ate at her no longer controlled her. For the first time in over a year, she could finally breathe. Without a doubt, she knew neither of them would let the past extinguish the flame.

His lips crashed into hers, and she melted against him.

He devoured her words of pleasure with his mouth. Sweet remnants of whiskey and her juices flavored his tongue. He pulled away only to dive back in, stroking the heat a hundred degrees hotter. If he could do that with only his mouth… tingles of excitement rushed her.

Tears rimmed her eyes.

Only this time out of joy.

She loved how much he wanted her. She wanted him just as much, and knowing he'd only been acting on her brother's wishes made tonight all the sweeter. Nathan pulled back and let her nipple slip out of his mouth. "Beautiful and delicious."

Pent-up need begged for release with each delicious second of torture he administered. Nathan tightened his grip on her hips and continued rocking his bare cock between her soft lips to nudge her aching clit. She tossed her head back and let out a moan that consumed her whole body. She couldn't hold back much longer.

He slowed and she groaned.

"Answer me then. If you want to come all over my big cock, I want an answer. Tell me you're mine and I'm yours."

"Yes, Nathan, Yes! I'll marry you. Now make me come."

His grip on her ass cheeks tightened as he pumped harder. Every muscle in his body rippling beneath her hands.

Her orgasm detonated around her like a million explosions going off inside her body. It wasn't a slow climb but an instant blast of sensations felt in every cell of her body.

She gasped for air and clutched Nathan with all her might.

"Let go, Willa. I've got you. Let go." And she did.

The command in his voice freed the part of her she held back. Power she'd never known before wrapped around her soul, releasing the full force of her orgasm. Waves of fire lapped at her insides while her body arched in pleasure. Strong arms wrapped around her, holding her close. "I've got you. Just hold onto me." His words melted her heart just a little more. Much more and she would never be the same again.

Willa blinked back the tears formed at his tender words coming on the heels of the hottest orgasm she'd had since…well, she could never reach the clouds Nathan just took her to with any toy.

Still high from her orgasm, he eased back only to lift her into his arms. She never played the damsel in distress, but for now she knew he needed to care for her, show her what he was willing to do.

And if she wanted to be honest with herself, she liked the way his muscles tensed and bunched against her body as he walked them into the living room.

She rested her cheek against his firm chest and silently thanked the Marines for all the delicious male she currently had wrapped around her.

"If handing in my resignation is what it took for this," she motioned with a finger between them, "to happen, then don't count on an apology." Her words rolled off her tongue with a hint more accent than normal and gave away how much he affected her.

She turned her head to the side just enough to see his trademark smirk. "Leave it to you to be the tactical one of the family. Marines have nothing on you, baby."

She tilted her head back and laughed so hard even her soul felt the change this night brought.

Nathan slowly eased her down the front of his body. The same fire from just moments ago sparked to life in the depths of his eyes, ready to consume them. Nothing would stand in their way tonight or any other night.

He cupped her face in a tender touch. "God, you're so fucking beautiful. I lose myself a little every time I touch you."

Emerald settled on dark brown. Truth carried through his words, warming her heart.

He pulled her to him. There was no denying the hard-on that pushed against her stomach. With only a couple of pulls and a flick of a button, Willa freed his shaft. She wrapped her fingers around him, eliciting a deep groan. Soft, silky skin in total contrast to the solid muscle that begged to be kissed, licked, and fucked. All in that order if she had her way. Chills tickled along her spine from seeing him enjoy her touch, but she had other ideas.

Wildfire lit his eyes, "That was only the beginning."

With lightning speed, his boots hit the floor in a one-two thud. His jeans came off next, carelessly tossed to the side. He stood before her gloriously naked, her juices still coating his thick cock.

He stepped back from her, eyes hooded. Firelight danced across the dim room, infusing the shadows with a warm golden light.

He lowered her to a pool of blankets set back from the fire. She loved the heat encasing her from all sides.

"My beautiful Willa." He groaned and he parted her knees, sliding a finger from her calf all the way to the seam of her thighs, over her still aching clit.

And lower.

Would she ever have her fill of him?

Never.

He flipped her over with a quick flick that left her gasping for air. Strong hands under her thighs lifted until her ass was in the air. She moaned and pushed back into his touch when he slid his fingers beneath the silk of her panties and pulled.

Warm air brushed against exposed flesh and she stilled, knowing he could see her pink pussy and her most intimate of parts.

Warm lips found the soft flesh of her ass. Big hands parted her ass cheeks and she moaned when his tongue and lips worked over her asshole.

"I want all of you. Do you understand? The warmth of his breath caressed her skin and set her on fire.

She nodded as she dug her fingers into the mounds of blankets beneath her, withering in pleasure.

Warm cream trickled down the soft lips of her pussy and onto her thighs.

He dragged his tongue over her entrance, licking lower, and lower until warm lips wrapped found her clit.

From ass to pussy his tongue devoured her. Sizzling heat lashed at her clit with each pass. She arched against the delicious ache he stirred, reaching to relieve the pressure herself. Before she could, his lips enveloped her clit. One pull and she lost herself to a rollercoaster of euphoria.

Every inch of her body came alive. "Take me, Nathan," she gritted out between gasping for air and holding back a scream of ecstasy. His grip tightened on her thighs in response, each finger claiming a part of her for himself.

He looked up at her, lips wet from his feast on her juices, and let out a low, sexy chuckle. At the devilish smile he threw her way through the light of the fire, her heart rate tripled. He flipped her onto her back and splayed a hand on her stomach to hold her in place and returned to her sweet torture.

He released her abruptly, only to surprise her again. The shock sent a flood of air into her lungs with a hard gasp. She fisted the blankets as he pumped his cock and pressed the head against her entrance and pressed.

"You're so fucking tight around my cock head."

Sweat trickled between her breasts. "Yes," she groaned heatedly, unable to contain the need to feel him stretch her virgin pussy, fill her with his large cock and claim her.

He leaned over her and she wrapped her arms around his massive shoulders and pulled until she seared his lips with hers in a white-hot kiss. He kissed her back just as fiercely, his large body a delicious weight against hers.

Unable to look away, Willa held his gaze, watching as pulled back and peeled her pussy lips wide to drag over her entrance. She arched when he slipped a finger followed by a second into her slickness.

Her breasts ached for attention and grew heavy with the onslaught of desire flooding her system. She pinched and rolled her nipples between her fingers, loving the fire in his eyes as he watched.

She fell back against the soft blankets. With each pass of his tongue, her breath caught. She dug her heels in to pull him closer, which earned her a delicious nip to her thigh.

Her whole body stiffened as he worked her cheeks apart again. His wandering finger sliding through her juices before teasing her tight, untouched asshole while he lapped at her clit.

Little by little, he caressed her ass without breaching the barrier. She wished he would. Just the thought of something so erotic with Nathan had her hips bucking. She reached between her legs and slipped a finger—then a second—into her pussy, desperate for more. He caught her hand. "Naughty Willa. So impatient."

She stared, mesmerized by how he sucked each digit into the warm cavern of his mouth. When the last drop left her fingers, he broke past her forbidden barrier with a single slow push. The pressure. The pain. The pleasure. Juices gathered and overflowed to run down her crevice.

He withdrew his finger completely only to slide the tip back in. She bucked from the intrusion but begged for more. "Nathan," she groaned.

He pulled back, leaving only the tip of his finger to tease her further. Her pussy quivered for the same attention. She could feel the power of her orgasm build with each stroke, each thrust. "Take me, Nathan. Now. I'm ready."

He rose above her, his massive body parting her wider. The look in his eyes told her she was safe with him, that her heart would be protected and her soul loved. They could finally start to heal now.

Now to see how he played. She had a feeling this was only a teaser, and tonight would be the beginning of a long life filled with passion-filled adventure.

"Spread your legs further, baby, and let me see my eager little pussy."

She did as he requested and closed her eyes, ready for this moment.

"No. Don't close your eyes. Look at me, baby. Look at us," he said in a raspy voice.

He stroked the length of his thick cock. Veins bulged along the shaft. The swollen tip oozed pre-cum that made her mouth water for another taste of him. Not one to waste an opportunity, Willa sat up and cupped his balls with her left hand while her other hand claimed her property.

Slowly she slipped her tongue out to catch the bead of pre-cum she milked from the tip. Salty mixed with a flavor made of pure male. Willa repeated the motion, her reward another drop. She moaned and threw her head back to look up at Nathan. He kneeled before her, every muscle straining for control. Golden firelight played off the sheer layer of sweat coating his skin, highlighting each crevice and contour of his body for her.

"I'm going to take you, Willa. Hard and long, sweetheart."

Poised above her, he fisted his massive, thick cock, guiding it to her entrance.

Fire blazed through her.

Her heart thundered in her ears, ready for the rush of pleasure.

Impatient, she wrapped her hand around his. "Make me wild with pleasure."

She could see the second he accepted her challenge.

His trademark smirk came back and his muscles bunched, ready for what came next.

She reached between them and guided his cock to her entrance.

He slowly pushed forward, the head of his big cock parting her tight entrance, and he paused when he hit the thin barrier buried there.

Her body trembled.

Quaked and craved for him to own her.

She couldn't make up her mind.

They both panted and she clawed at his skin as he sank the rest of the way in, claiming her virginity and her heart with a thrust of his cock.

Holy shit, that was intense.

He stilled, reaching up to cup her face, and she could almost feel his racing pulse in his touch. "After this there's no going back, baby. You'll be mine forever."

She gazed into his eyes. "I know. I want this. I want you. Forever might not be long enough though."

He pushed deeper and she whimpered from the sudden momentary pain. He wrapped her body with his possessively and spoke to her softly.

"Shh, baby," he soothed. "I've got you. It won't last long. I'm so sorry. I had to hurt you."

He tucked his head into her shoulder and kissed her tenderly until the fires grew so hot she couldn't hold back another second.

She began to rock her hips.

His teeth grazed her shoulder and she moaned, "Fuck me, Nathan. I'm okay," she reassured him when he pulled back and looked into her eyes.

His biceps rippled beneath her hands and his abs tightened against her body as he slowly pulled out until only the tip of his cock was left in her clenching pussy.

Just the thought of every single inch of his cock in her had her moaning louder.

Her eyes fluttered shut as he pushed to his knees, his massive body parting her legs wide.

"No. Watch as I take you," he commanded in a tone that called to her submissive side once again. She wanted to explore what it all meant, but later when she could think clearly and give voice to her little fantasies.

She drank in his every move, watching his muscles ripple with each thrust. He pumped his cock in long, powerful strokes. Willa held her breath with each withdrawal, and each time he slammed home he pushed her closer to the edge. Ready to fall over the cliff and never look back, she sank her fingers into the flesh of his shoulders.

He wrapped her tighter into his embrace. She'd never felt so loved, so wanted in her entire life. "You're the best Christmas gift I could ever ask for. Selfish as that makes me I don't care."

The hot feel of her pussy milking his thick cock had her hands tightening in the sheets.

A kaleidoscope of emotions fought for her attention as his words sank in. He wanted her. She was as much his key to happiness as he was hers.

"Never selfish," she managed before he pulled out and thrust deeper.

"Touch your pussy, baby. Stroke your clit."

He groaned as she did as he commanded.

"So fucking hot."

She swallowed thickly as she watched him pull out, his cock slick with her juices before he drove back in, his thrust harder than the last, cranking up her need to explode fast.

"Live with me here. Or somewhere else. I don't care where."

What? Uhh…"No."

He slowed, his hold on her hips tightening as he teased her pussy with just the tip of his dick.

"Come again?"

"What I meant to say is I would never want to leave here. Not after tonight, anyway. This house carries too many memories to walk away from."

Nathan rolled them over. With a firm grip on her thighs, he guided her onto his cock. Hot liquid seeped from her pouty pink lips. Watching him shudder with the pleasure she gave him jacked up her desire tenfold.

Her pussy clenched around his big dick with each withdrawal and again with each plunge. She stared into his eyes and fell for him all over again. Her heart raced, ready to explode with the love that swelled inside her.

"Come for me, my sweet Willa." He clasped her nipples between his fingers and pinched. Raw energy shot to her clit. Pure ecstasy rippled through her body.

"I need you, Nathan. I don't know how long I can last." She forced out the words, unable to focus from the tension building in her core.

"Let yourself go, baby."

She anchored herself to his words, finally ready to fly. So she did.

Small ripples swiftly transformed into full-on quakes that started at her center. He pulled her down to devour her moans as she fell over the edge. Power radiated between them, its force stronger than any bond forged in steel.

He slipped a hand between them and stroked her aching clit in slow circles, eliciting a moan from her.

She broke their kiss, straightened to take in his full length and rode him, faster. Harder.

Head thrown back, she lost any sliver of control she held on to, only able to focus on their joined bodies.

Taut muscles rippled beneath her hands as she braced herself on his chest. She loved the banked power he exuded. His expression of wild abandon for her sent another pulse of desire through her core. She moved her hands to cover his where they gripped her thighs, and rocked. With one last thrust he claimed her, releasing hot jets of cum into her now claimed pussy.

Images of a family life with Nathan tickled the back of her mind. She could see little brown-haired green-eyed babies in their future. Maybe even sooner than they both expected.

Time stood still, marked only by the chimes of the old grandfather clock signaling the early morning hour.

Spent, Willa soaked in the small aftershocks pulsing through her body. Weak from her release, she rested her head on his chest. She could feel the rapid beat of his heart, her own beating just as hard.

Nathan turned his head toward the big bay window flanking the fireplace. She followed his gaze to see the dawn tinge the night sky with hues of orange and indigo. All signs of any storm long gone.

She reached out and fingered the dark lines of his tattoo inked across the width of his right arm. A wicked skull backed by two crossbones and encompassed by three words.

Swift. Silent. Deadly.

A symbol that marked him a warrior. Her warrior. He'd gone into war against himself for her—for them—and came out on top.

She smiled. Happiness never felt so damn good and soul deep.

Everything felt right. She released a sigh as she watched him rise from their love nest. Which reminded her, someone had planned tonight, at least the love nest part.

She watched him stride across the room to where the Christmas tree stood opposite the crackling fire. Each step marked with confidence. She drank in the view of his wide shoulders that tapered down to a well-chiseled waist.

All mine.

A flicker of light caught her attention as he reached for one ornament that dangled mid-tree. Colorful lights danced off the faceted glass globe as if it were touched by magic.

"Close your eyes, baby. I have something for you."
